Menu Icons are gone

[killerbot]

looking at tiwag's screenshot : he is suffering in the file menu from the same icon disappearing and the same 2 remaining. And he had it with his build and my nightly build.
What might be so different between the other icons and those 2 ??

@thomas
can you please download and run the nightly build in order to verify if this bug is related to the build of CB or related to Windows settings ?
thx alot

I'm having problems with dissapeared icons and some context-menu entries also.

@thomas - did you notice in my posts, that i tested ALSO with the nightly build version in order to invalidate all errors which could be happened in my build-flow ??!!

No reason get get anygry. Certainly saw that. But still, a forgotten wxWidgets dll lying around in your path can as well screw up a nightly build, hence this suggestion.

I don't believe it is build related, because all I did is update to HEAD, double-click the project file, and hit the blue gear.
There is nothing magical in what I am doing, nor is there anything special with my system - it is a plain normal Windows XP installation, pretty much like it comes out of the box, with no evil mess-up software (tweakers, optimizers, P2P software, games, etc.) installed, and most settings (except for the sys folders being on D:) are factory settings.

Maybe it is due to some Windows update which you did and I did not. Who knows.

I might be on to something.
I just looked at the file : main_menu.xrc, some things I noticed :

1) many empty (looking ) lines
2) for the file menu : the 2 icons that do show up have :
    - NO accal and help tags
    - have less empty lines because of that

I tried to play around with that idea hoping to prove something, or finding some pattern : but no luck.

Or is something strange in the xrc file ??

dont be angry - only wanted to point out this fact.

i insist : could you please run the nightly build with copying the wxdll from the download in the nightly build codeblocks directory and see what you get ?
this test would safe us many speculations...

[thomas]

The same procedure as every year, James.

@thomas
thx - now we know definitely that is has to do with local windows settings !

[killerbot]

thomas, could you provide a zip file with your 'unicode' windows build together with your build of wx dll.
The we could give that one a try.

classic view <---> XP view ??

I use classic.

EDIT : Though I still don't understand that some icons do it , others don't.

i tested already with both , classic and windows XP style - nothing icons are gone ...

its a good idea to test thomas' files on our machines, but i fear i know already the answer...  :x

Hmm, that's strange...
I 've seen this too although I couldn't say what it was. I deleted the devel dir and clicked the blue gear. This just re-created all the programs/libraries in devel/.
Then I run update.bat and everything is working correctly again...

@tiwag: try this but keep a copy of the devel/ dir first. If this fixes it for you too, compare the new devel/ with the copy you kept. We might pinpoint the reason then...

i did it already - svn checkout in a fresh directory and built from there : result --> icons are gone 

just now i copied all the files to a fresh VMware XP installation and tested there - icons are gone ?
by this procedure, i found, that the mingwm10.dll was missing in the first place,
@thomas - can you please post your mingw10.dll here

that's the only file which is (maybe) different when running the nightly build version, which runs at thomas' computer fine, and on mine not

Useless - as you can see, your build works fine for me, so my build is none better than yours.

I traced what files are accessed while the nightly build ran, and I found (among many others) these two which might deal with menus and icons somehow:
msimg32.dll   5.1.2600.2180  MD5 3b8a9c87027bf8d6d156be5fa6e8ebc6
uxtheme.dll   6.00.2900.2180  MD5 c18e221634400c608209a123f2a10283

If you have a different version, it could be that this one does not properly open the icons. Maybe. No idea. Could be?

same version number, well 1 minor diff : 6.0.2900.2180  (1 0 after the 6.)
